Hi guys. I need some help, I haven't been able to find the answer to my question. Is the upper bushing on the auger shaft suppose to be pressed in or does it fit lose into the chassis?

I'm replacing the auger motor and figured I'd inspect the rest of it while I was there. The upper bushing came out with the auger. There in also 2 grooves on the OD of the bushing. Im assuming the bushing shouldn't rotate with the shaft and may need to be replaced.

Thanks in advanced.

I believe it just fits in hole
Most hardware stores have that bushing for a few dollars
